Synopsis

Excerpt from Hints for Language Lessons and Plans for Grammar Lessons: A Handbook

The Development is the lesson proper. Here the subject should be opened up fully, step after step being taken to fill the mind with the facts, and to give mental exercise through the imparting of these facts. The steps should be Short steps, and each one Should follow in natural sequence from the preceding one. This is the test of the development. And the position of the pupil in this part of the lesson Should be that of an investigator.

The Generalization - As we desire to reach classification, we must first generalize. All the examples we use to illustrate our topic are alike in one particular or more; then we put them in a class on the ground of a common quality.

The Technical Term is given by the teacher: the pupils cannot be expected to know it.

The Definition is given by the pupils. If the development has been well carried out, the pupils Should be able to give a definition which will embody, in abstract form, the facts gained from the illustrations.

Practical Exercises are of the greatest value in impressing the lessons on the minds of the pupils. They call upon the pupil to make new illustrations to which the abstract principle will apply, and to use the new and the Old illustrations in composition, or the cultivation of the language faculty in the form of written expres sion of thought.
